Well done to SEEd for promoting the views of young people about climate change and education. Here are two recent examples:
Shaping the Future: Why I’m fighting for Sustainability and Climate Education – Olive Coxon talks about her experiences having to teach herself about the climate crisis, joining the youth strikers, and a responsibility to try and create institutional change that never should have fallen on her shoulders. …

Teach the Future also publishes blogs by its members and supporters; for example:

The Wildlife Trusts‘ Young Ambassadors also blog. For example:
